It’s a slim - but thoroughly awesome week on the Wii’s downloadable services, with two sweet-looking titles up for grabs. First up is the cheap ($5), very fun looking Niki - Rock ‘n’ Ball on WiiWare, followed up by the excellent Wonder Boy in Monster Land on the VC. Both… Continue Reading »

On this week of new beginnings (the inauguration is tomorrow!), Nintendo has seen fit to grace us with MUSHA, an old-school Genesis shooter, and two dubious looking “family” style WiiWare titles. Hmm… I’m starting to get nostalgic for World Of Goo and the Strong Bad games. C’mon developers, let’s get… Continue Reading »

It looks like we have a fairly solid week on the Wii, with a few twists on parlor games (ok, it’s a stretch, but not a far one, for a wacky card game and a Pachinko title) and some vintage NES Castlevania III. My money’s on the classic this week.… Continue Reading »

So, the last Wii downloadable update of 2008 is here, and it looks… interesting. We’ve got Star Tropics II on the Virtual console, along with a pool title and the rather abstract sounding (but cool looking) Maboshi’s Arcade on WiiWare. Happy New Year, Wii downloaders! As always, the titles are… Continue Reading »

Christmas is in the air - and Nintendo’s latest batch of downloadable goodies is - well, kind of lukewarm. Instead of putting up a truly tasty classic (hello! Majora’s Mask!) or any really cool-sounding WiiWare, we have one good ol’ RPG and a couple of interesting-yet-unproven WiiWare options. Not great,… Continue Reading »

Well, Wii downloaders, it looks like this week belongs squarely to strong bad, according to our review by Jessica. The rest of the week’s picks are rather obscure and honestly, don’t sound too hot. As usual, the titles are available on the Wii Shop channel, with a fresh batch arriving… Continue Reading »

If last week’s offerings were leftovers, this week’s crop of Wii downloadable content is like that weird casserole that somebody always brings to a potluck. We have an old, not-necessarily-the-best version of a great old game - Sonic 2, then an arcadey sounding hockey game, and an intriguing puzzler called… Continue Reading »

It’s another surprisingly decent week for Wii downloadable games. We’ve got Boingz, a very fun looking puzzle-platformer, Boogerman, a classic Genesis platformer for gamers of discerning taste, and the budget priced Sudoku Challenge! for your other puzzle addiction (the first being Tetris - no one ever gets over that one.… Continue Reading »

This week, Nintendo and Incredible Technologies are proud to present you with Target Toss Pro: Bags, what I believe may just be the world’s very first “professional” bean bag tossing game. I don’t know if it’ll hold up to that bean bag minigame in Donkey Kong Country 3, but hey,… Continue Reading »

It looks like the WiiWare this week is all about the clones - we have the Cooking Mama-like Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam and a curiously Brain Age-y Brain Challenge. No matter. The Virtual Console boasts one of the greatest of the old Mega Man games - all is right in… Continue Reading »
